Beachin’ it up in Bertioga -Haven Robart

Today was a full but spectacular day – beginning at 7 this morning, we all piled onto a bus to head to the beach in Bertioga. After driving an hour and a half through lush mountain greenery, we finally arrived and could not have been more ready to tackle the Read more…

In the Grand Scheme of Things – Heather Dole

Although I’m sure most of us won’t admit to it, it’s easy to feel on top of the world being home in the United States. Many of us live life with problems few and far between and often take this blessing for granted.  However, I guarantee that if you take Read more…

Be Still-Rebekah Distaffen

If I was capable of picking a favorite Bible verse, Psalm 46:10 would be it. “Be still, and know that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth.” Recently, this verse has held deep meaning for me, and God has been making it Read more…

Feeling Tired – Elliott Lawrence

In all honesty, I am exhausted. I feel like I am getting less sleep than at the beginning of the trip and the work I do for our class throughout the day now seems to take more energy. I am feeling the fatigue set in as each night it seems Read more…

Finding Our Way -Josiah Lyon

I couldn’t believe it had actually happened. Nate and I were actually lost, just the two of us, in the middle of a big city in a foreign country where we didn’t speak the language. To make matters worse it was getting dark. We couldn’t find our way back home. Read more…

All Creatures Great and Small – Nathan Cannon

Yesterday, the students and professors of the Global Honors Program ventured out on a trek through the nearby Atlantic Rain Forest.

Courage, Compliments, and Connection- Rebekah Benson

In Let’s All Be Brave, Annie F. Downs writes: “‘Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones’ (Proverbs 16:24). And to say gracious words is brave. To speak life into someone else takes courage. Whether you are correcting in love, standing up for the voiceless, Read more…

Calming Senses -Amber Cavellier

For the majority of this week, I have felt like a bubble waiting to burst. It all started Monday when we left A Casa do Jardim. The children we worked with, two in particular, pulled at my heartstrings and have stuck with me ever since. Their names were Maria and Read more…

Dreams Coming True: What now? – Colleen Denny

My dog loved chasing squirrels. When I was younger, going on “walks” with my dog always meant being pulled by his leash as he darted toward squirrel after squirrel. I wish I could’ve told those panicked squirrels a secret: If he ever caught one of them, he wouldn’t know what Read more…

Hugs and Kisses – David T Wilkinson

Jared, Haven, and I were discussing the presentation we will be giving regarding religion in Brazil. An observation that was raised was that the Brazilian’s are much more open with their bodies and physical affection then American’s. Now, this is the culture in Brazil.
